Does Enoxaparin treatment have any effects on the placenta in women with unexplained histories of habitual abortion? A case control study.

Background: It is very common to offer low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) medications to women with unexplained habitual abortion, to increase the livebirth rate. Although no benefit from LMWH has been clearly demonstrated, examination of the effects of enoxaparin on placental structure is lacking.

Objective: To assess placental structural changes in pregnancies treated with enoxaparin, compared with controls.

The combined QF-PCR and cytogenetic approach in prenatal diagnosis.

In this study, the importance of quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) aneuploidy diagnosis test which provides earlier and easier results were discussed. The cell cultures and DNA isolations were performed on 100 amniotic fluids. DNA isolations were made from peripheral blood samples of mothers who had blood-stained amniotic fluid samples.

Disruption of HDX gene in premature ovarian failure.

We present a case of a 19-year-old phenotypically normal girl with premature ovarian failure. Cytogenetic analysis using G banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) from cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes of the patient and the family revealed a de novo X;15 translocation and the imbalance to be 46,X,t(X;15)(Xpter → Xq21::15q11 → 15qter;15pter → 15q11::Xq21 → Xqter). ish (CEPX+, wep15+, ISNRPN+, PML+, D15S10+, wcp15-, SNRRN-, PML-)[20].

Effects of metformin on insulin resistance, androgen concentration, ovulation and pregnancy rates in women with polycystic ovary syndrome following laparoscopic ovarian drilling.

Aim: To evaluate the effects of metformin on insulin resistance, androgen concentration, ovulation rates and pregnancy rates in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Methods: Forty-two infertile women with PCOS were selected in this randomized clinical study. Basal steroid and gonadotropin levels were measured, and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed.

Advanced tubal pregnancy at 30 weeks.

A case of advanced tubal pregnancy at 30 weeks is described. The placenta was implanted on the salpinx. Most tubal pregnancies become symptomatic within the first 12 weeks.
